George jones is a man that sings about life. He sing from the Heart. When this man dies, he'll be sorrowly missed for no one else will/can replace this great man.

This is my favorite country song. Today's country music just doesn't have the same feeling to it. I miss the days of George Jones and Conway Twitty.

[classicvinylbiz]

@brian1958usgrant This is not only the all time most popular country song but it was accepted in 2008 by the National Recording Preservation Board, set up by the US Congress about 10 years earlier (see the description above). That is one of the highest honors that can be bestowed upon a recording. Thanks for writing, david

[dangervich]

@classicvinylbiz nice to know that. thanks.

[dangervich]

Classy of you to show pics of the composers. They sure do deserve more recognition than they get!

[hickboy25]

an amazing song

[kellyp1975]

has to be one of the best songs ever. all i remember growing up in the 80's is my dad driving down the rode with his arm hanging out of the truck(even in the winter time) smoking a kool and blaring George Jones hits on the radio. this is what true country was all about. George is a big icon to me and truley inspires me! thanks George!!!
